Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 263 Sending [-] troops to attack Jiaozhou

Attacking Jiaozhou was Zhang Yi's long-awaited strategy.Anyone who has reached a certain level knows it.Because Jiaozhou is close to the sea, the navy also knows it.However, because the focus of the navy is now on the north, there is no development at all in the south, which also makes them forget about Jiaozhou.

Now as soon as Li Jun submitted to the state, Pan Zhang immediately shut up.The Qingzhou side is only a temporary task and can be given up at any time, but the Jiaozhou side cannot.

The two returned to the voyage immediately, arrived at the seaport of Buqi County, met Gan Ning, and then started to return to the voyage.

In October, Zhang Yi set off from Shouchun to Shanghai.

This year, he kept thinking about the affairs of Jiaozhou. This time, he not only sent a large number of troops, but also transferred Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to the navy, and also formed a fleet for them.The fleet of Zhang Yi's navy is fixed, with three island ships, six sea reef ships, and twelve sea fish ships, plus a number of small boats. A fleet requires three to 4000 naval personnel.

After Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were transferred to the navy, the navy had as many as six fleets.There are also Gan Ning, Li Jun, Pan Zhang and Zheng Chenggong.Since Zheng Chenggong was summoned, he was sent to the navy by Zhang Yi.However, he did not go to the north with Gan Ning and the others, but to the south.He had just arrived in the navy and his position was relatively low, so Zhang Yi asked him to lead the navy to destroy pirates.

Although ocean trade was not prevalent in this era, there were still pirates.You must know that there are pirates in Qingzhou, and there are also pirates in Xuyang.But in this era, although there are pirates, they are very few.However, with the development of Xu Yang's maritime trade, pirates have also increased.It is very difficult to suppress bandits at sea, but it is a great achievement not to wipe out a band of bandits.

Zheng Chenggong's naval battles were very powerful. In the past half a year, more than a dozen pirates were wiped out, and the trade route was much safer.Relying on shipping, Zhang Yi's business blueprint is already very strong.The shipyards in Shanghai are not only warships, but also merchant ships.However, merchant ships are all transformed from eliminated warships. After Shen Kuo, warships were replaced very quickly. Sea fishing boats were the first to complete the replacement, and they were sold by Zhang Yi to those who were willing. Aristocratic families and wealthy merchants who exchanged land.

Aristocratic families and wealthy merchants start to ship by sea. Xuyang has a long coastline, and the lower reaches of the river and Huai River can be accessed. There are many places for trade. These aristocratic families and wealthy merchants have taken advantage of Zhang Yi's economic strategy. , more support for Zhang Yi.

However, after becoming rich, many people feel uncomfortable and satisfied with Zhang Yi's tax policy.Because the commercial tax collected by Zhang Yi was the highest among all the princes, several times higher than what was stipulated by the Han Dynasty.There were very few commercial taxes in the Han Dynasty because China was an agricultural country and only focused on agricultural taxation.This is a very unreasonable place. There are too many commercial profits, but less taxation. No wonder those rulers can kill those rich people at will. People want it!

Zhang Yi does not want such a thing to happen. The commercial tax he stipulates is collected according to the percentage of the industry, ranging from 10% to 35%.Sea trade has the highest tax rate, because sea trade makes the most profits, so some people want to pay less tax.

Zhang Yi transferred Di Renjie to General Zhengdong's Mansion, and asked him to form a tax department to focus on large-scale commerce and tax collection.Di Renjie's blue-sky personality made Zhang Yi trust him very much.Di Renjie is also an old Jianghu. He found out the tax evasion situation very easily as soon as he took office, and the punishment was not very serious, which did not involve personal safety at all. However, they were fined, not only to pay the missed tax, Three to ten times the fine was also imposed.

After Zhang Yi arrived in Shanghai, he immediately summoned the six fleet commanders of the navy, six generals of the army, the newly appointed governor of Jiaozhou, and eight newly appointed prefects.

The six naval fleet commanders are naturally Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Li Jun, Pan Zhang, and Zheng Chenggong; the six army generals are Ding Feng, Sun Wuzhong, Wang Xiong, Lu Fan, He Qi, and Yu Dayou; The governor of Jiaozhou was Zhu Zhi, and the prefect of Wujun was handed over to Gu Yong; the eight newly appointed prefects were Gu Shao, the prefect of Nanhai County, Shi Tao, the prefect of Cangwu County, Meng Jian, the prefect of Hepu County, Li Yan, the prefect of Yulin County, Jiaozhi Gu Hui, the prefect of the county, Gui Lan, the prefect of Jiuzhen County, Dai Yuan, the prefect of Rinan County, and Wang Xiang, the prefect of Zhuya County in Zhuyazhou.

"I have prepared an army of [-] this time. I hope that you will completely occupy Jiaozhou before the end of winter. Jiaozhou is very hot all year round, and the rainforest is full of miasma. Only winter is the best time to mobilize troops. Before entering the forest, all of you You should wear the prepared gas mask (charcoal can be burned long ago, it is easy to get), so as not to inhale the miasma and cause non-combat attrition."

"I haven't stipulated the battle deployment. Jiaozhou's combat power is not strong, and you are fully capable of attacking it. Lin Fengxiang attacked Cangwu County; Sun Wuzhong and Jiang Qin attacked Nanhai County; Li Jun and Pan Zhang sent Yu Dayou and Ding to the Hepu County, after Yu Dayou and Ding Feng took Hepu, they went north to Yulin County, Pan Zhang went south to Zhuyazhou, and Li Jun transported supplies back and forth to support various places. Gan Ning and Wang Xiong attacked Jiaozhi County; Zhou Tai and He Qi attacked Jiuzhen County ; Zheng Chenggong and Lu Fan attacked Rinan County."

"Yulin County is connected to Jiaozhi County and Yizhou. After you arrive, look for roads from these two counties to see if you can go with the army. If you can pass the army, this will be the third road for us to enter Sichuan. And People from Daojiuzhen County and Rinan County, don’t think that I put them in a remote place. The land in Jiuzhen County and Rinan County is fertile and very suitable for growing rice. It can be grown three times a year. After the county, you can support millions or even tens of millions of people. He Qi and Lu Fan, your responsibilities are important. You must expand the territory in the safest way and increase the land of these two. In the future, you will both Leave a name in history!"

"Zhou Tai and Zheng Chenggong, the two of you will continue to go south to explore whether there are any threats or resources around you. You are our pioneers overseas."

After Zhang Yi finished the mobilization meeting, the navy carried [-] troops and the officials appointed by Zhang Yi and left Hong Kong.

After Zhang Yi sent the army away, he took Jia Sixie to inspect the land in the south of the Yangtze River.Jia Sixie was summoned when Liu Biao died.But when he was summoned, Zhang Yi was thinking about the talents in Jingzhou, so he ignored him. The bumper harvest in Jingzhou made Zhang Yi ignore Jia Sixie for the time being.

"Jia Sixie, force: 68, strategy: 75, strategy: 70, internal affairs: 92, education: 99, diplomacy: 75. Trait: agronomy."
